Muwatta Malik #1939
Speech
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا سَمِعْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ . فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ " .
Malik related to me from Suhayl ibn Abu Salih from his father
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "When you hear a man say, 'The people are
ruined,' he himself is the most ruined of them all."
